But I agree that after reading through all of this it made me want to open a bottle of the beer!! This has happened before to the Speedball in the US, so it's nothing new to them. I love the uproar that it's created and it's really interesting to see all the opinions of the beer bloggers going around. It is all crazy, no?!

It'd be easy to blame political correctness gone mad, but this just feels more vindictive, even sinister. Would the Portman Group care to bring attention to the fact that the major supermarkets sell their own brand of cooking lager for less per can than a bar of chocolate (hmmm, wonder which age-group that's aimed at?) I doubt it. It’s almost becoming a Pythonesque farce … but any potential humour in the situation is negated by the distinct impression that these people are out to get Brewdog.
